The ratio of the strength of the material to the permissible stress is often referred to as the factor of safety. As the specified permissible stresses are kept well below the material strength, the assumption of linear elastic behavior is considered justifiable.

FRP represents a class of materials that falls into a category referred to as composite materials. The primary function of fibre reinforcement is to carry load along the length of the fiber and to provide strength and stiffness in one direction. FRP composites are different from traditional construction materials like steel or aluminium.

When you draw reference planes the order they were created plays a role in how a parameter will move them later. Draw two new vertical parallel reference planes, draw one on the left and then next to the right of the first. Flex the parameter value and watch the reference plane on the right move. Like I wrote, it is subtle.

I read recently that just adding a name to a reference plane would cause it to be "strong". The notion of Strong, Weak and Not a Reference are related to the IsReference parameter, which I''ve written about before. It''s my observation that adding a name to a reference plane has no impact on it''s behavior in a project.

When you apply an instance parameter to a strong/weak reference plane you'll get grips that let you alter the element directly in the view. When you do this to a reference line you get them too.
